Easy Strawberry Mango Overnight Oats

Overnight oats, when mixed with strawberries and mango pieces, is a filling and nutritious way to kick off your morning! Assembled the night before, this delicious blend of oats, chia seeds, cashew milk, and fruit will rock. Your. World.

When was the last time you took a nap? On Tuesday I booked myself to the max with clients, which wasn’t a smart decision. I came home Tuesday, had my Spanish lesson via Skype, and then sat in front of my computer until bedtime. And no, there was no productivity involved. One of those evening hours was spent analyzing the celebrities who interviewed on Jimmy Fallon, and then somehow I ended up watching 15 minutes of random interviews with Steph Curry – the ones where his adorable little daughter stole the show. I don’t even know, guys .

Wednesday was a light day with personal training clients, and after coming home I went upstairs to say “hi” to Ray – who was asleep after returning from a night shift – and 40 minutes later, I woke up. Not the Hollywood-style, oh I’m just casually getting up, looking like I’m all ready to go. It was the awakening that comes with a jolt, sitting straight up in bed, wondering a) what day it is, b) how I got here, and c) did I miss any appointments.

Healthy and Prepped

ANYWAY. With a weird week, it’s comforting to know there’s healthy, already prepared food in the fridge. I’m talkin’ ‘bout these easy strawberry mango overnight oats! Since it’s all hot, humid, and not hot oatmeal weather, we went with the cold and refreshing version.

This week’s Foodie Friday theme is “Kitchen Cleanse”, and I was ready to use up leftover strawberries and mangos. They were on the verge of being unfit to eat fresh, and mixing them into overnight oats was a solid decision.

I’m not going to stop drinking almond or regular cow’s milk, but I love the creaminess cashew milk has to offer. There’s no added sugar (I bought the unsweetened vanilla cashew milk), so I don’t feel like I’m cutting into daily recommended added sugar intake (20g for women)! More room for sweet treats from Paradox Pastry .

Easy Strawberry Mango Overnight Oats

So, what happens when you blend creamy cashew milk, oats, yogurt, chia seeds, and fruit? Magic in a bowl. Seriously. After mixing, covering, and storing your overnight oat mixture in the fridge, what happens next is magical.

The creamy cashew milk and Greek yogurt team up and allow room for the chia seeds and oats to have a little party, and sweet pieces of strawberry and mango add even MORE texture and flavor to the overnight oats.

It doesn’t get any easier than that, my friends. As long as you have a handful of ingredients, a little bit of time can be saved for preparing a breakfast – or snack – that is healthy, fiber-filled, nutritious, and DELICIOUS. Healthy foods don’t have to be boring, and this easy strawberry mango overnight oats is hardly that.

I have to be careful w afternoon naps bc I set my alarm for an hour and ALWAYS wake up then, say nahhhhhh, then set another 30 min. Then it takes me forever to wake up and climb up out of sleep. I napped all the time last summer and it was no bueno, but I’ll still do it occasionally. Also, weekends I’m all about naps.

So we have strawberries but no mangos, but I’m thinking some overnight oats need to happen any ways. 🙂 I haven’t taken a nap in a long time, but when I do, I usually just sprawl out on the bed and sleep for 20 minutes or …. hours? 😀Emily recently posted…Top 3 Friday: Why Living at Home Isn’t Lame

It must have been the week of naps because I crashed hard on Thursday. I just could not keep my eyes open. And then when I woke up I felt so out of it. Oh well! My body needed more sleep I guess. And these overnight oats. Perfect for the warm and humid mornings we’ve been having.

Strawberry and mango that screams summer! WOO HOO I love Mango and when it’s fresh nothing better…so I’m betting I’d fall head over heels in love with this combo!

I can only imagine how delicious this would taste if I made it here in Panamá (where I’m spending the summer). The mangos here are the best I’ve ever tasted and I can’t help but enjoy them daily.

Hey, Deborah! I’ve never tried them warm but I bet you totally could 🙂

I’ve FINALLY succumbed to naps. I always forced myself to get ‘stuff’ done or workout while my son napped or prep for dinner. But DANG letting myself nap when my body is telling me I need it feels awesome. I only have steel cut oats in my pantry – do you think this recipe would work for those? Maybe just add slightly more liquid I’m thinking??Chrissa – Physical Kitchness recently posted…30 Healthy Back to School Lunch Ideas (that aren’t all sandwiches)
